No, because it is still propaganda.

On one-hand, you advocate nationalism, pride in your country, etc. In many regards, you should be supporting Palestine, the nation which had another nation placed right ontop of it, then getting kicked out of their own houses and forced to flee to other countries and into refugee camps.
I disagree that it had another nation placed right on top of it (if you agree that it did, you must also agree that that nation was there first anyway), they weren't kicked out of their own homes in 1948 when Israel was formed, and they weren't forced to flee to other countries at that time either.

However, you fully support Israel, because it fits in your your belief and support of American Imperialism in the region
I don't support American "imperalism", mostly because I disagree that it is truly happening at all.

and because the Palestinians are arabs, even though not all of them are Muslims. (There are Jewish and Christian Palestinians too)
I couldn't care less what religion they are. In fact, I am quite concerned about the rapidly decreasing numbers of Palestinian Christians. You are actually ignoring the fact that Israel has quite a lot of Arab citizens.


I believe Israel is right. However, even if I didn't, I would still support them simply because their national interests coincide with those of my country.
